There is no cynicism in He's poems, and there is no understanding of his own life experience. Why is he called a "poetry fanatic"

When it comes to Tang poetry, everyone will recite a series of famous works through the ages. Indeed, the peak of poetry culture was in the Tang Dynasty, and the famous poets in the Tang Dynasty were like a blowout. Out of admiration for the poets at the top of the pyramid, later generations gave them titles. There is no cynicism in He's poems, and there is no understanding of his own life experience. Why is he called a "poetry idiot"?

For example, Li Bai is called "Poet Fairy", Du Fu is called "Poet Saint", Bai Juyi is called "Poet Magic" and Li He is called "Shi Gui". Most of these appellations are appropriate, but one person's appellation is not true. That's what he is called "crazy poet".

You know, this is a scholar who was admitted during the Wuhou period, and he is also the top scholar. Later, it survived in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and its active period happened to be the prosperous time of Kaiyuan, which China was proud of. Although he has never been a big official in his life, he has never been hit or relegated, and he has always been an old minister greatly appreciated and respected by Tang Xuanzong.

In the end, he lived to the age of 86, and died peacefully after his old age. Therefore, in He's poems, there is no cynicism, no sentimental life experience and no sign of madness.

Some people may say that most of He's poems have been lost, and only 20 have been circulated so far. Perhaps some crazy poems have done amazing things, which is unknown. On the one hand, the poet's poems are coherent, and there are few drastic changes in style and theme. On the other hand, if there are such crazy poems, they will definitely stay as He's masterpiece.

However, the poems we see now are all peaceful and refreshing. Take his most famous "Two Hometown Couplets" as an example: one of them ran away from home when he was a child, but his local accent remained unchanged. When children meet strangers, they will smile and ask where the guests are from. Second, I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I have been half-dead recently. Only in front of Jinghu Lake, the spring breeze does not change the waves of the past.

Because his real name is "Siming Flower Name", Siming is a place name, located in Simingshan Town, Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, near He's hometown. Zhang Zhi calls himself a fanatic because he thinks he is open-minded and informal. Actually, I doubt it. According to He's life, he hardly suffered any political setbacks, and he has been favored by the emperor for decades.
